insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be
grounded.
WARNING
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the tools
internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to
avoid electrical shock.
IMPORTANT
Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by a quali ed service technician. For
service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest
authorized service center for repair.
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories
not recommended for use with this tool. Any such
alteration or modi cation is misuse and could result
in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious
personal injury.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
Your router should never be connected to power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
installing or removing cutters, or when not in use.
Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting
that could cause serious injury.
CUTTER INSTALLATION
See Figure 3 - 4.
1. Unplug the tool.
WARNING
Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious injury.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock,
always allow motor to come to a complete stop before
engaging the spindle lock.
2. Remove chip shield from router base.
3. Depress spindle lock.
4. Lay router down on workbench in order to gain easy
access to collet nut.
5. Place the spanner provided through front of router
base onto collet nut and turn counterclockwise to
loosen.
WARNING
If you are changing a cutter immediately after use, be
careful not to touch the cutter or collet with your hands
or ngers. They will get burned because of the heat
buildup from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
6. Install cutter once collet nut is loose. If changing
cutters, cutter will easily slip from collet after loosening
collet nut.
7. Insert shank of cutter until shank bottoms out, then pull
it out 1/16 in (1.6 mm) to allow for expansion when the
bit gets hot.
8. Tighten the collet nut.
9. Release spindle lock.
10. Replace chip shield.
WARNING
If the collet nut is not securely tightened, the cutter may
detach during use causing serious personal injury.
WARNING
Do not use cutters with undersized shanks. Undersized
shanks will not tighten properly and could be thrown
from the tool causing injury.
WARNING
Do not use cutters that are larger in diameter than the
opening in router base. Use of such cutters will come
in contact with the router base and damage both the
cutter and router base. This situation could also cause
possible loss of control or create other hazardous
conditions that could cause possible serious personal
injury.
DEPTH OF CUT
When routing a groove that is too deep to safely cut in one
pass, it is best to make the cut in several passes.
Proper depth of cut depends on several factors such as
horsepower of the router motor, type of cutter being used
and the type of wood being routed. A lightweight, low
horsepower router is designed for making shallow cuts.
A router with high horsepower rating can safely cut deeper.
